Fillers for 18-year-old with oral commissures? (photos)

Question

I'm only 18, but I have marionnete lines that are getting a lot worse. Would fillers like juvederm or restylane solve the problem? I'm female, by the way.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Fillers can be used to harmonize your jawline and lip corners to the rest of your face, however you are a little young to be considering these treatments.  The good news, is the treatments are reversible if you do not like, and there is very little risk of any complications if done by a experienced injector.  I agree that juvederm or another hyaluronic acid (HA) would be best, as it is already a natural component of your skin.  Radiesse, which is not reversible, along your jawline may also help give lift and support the overlying soft HA type filler.  Seek an expert consult if you are interested in treatments.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

A small amount of product used to the marionette lines can help to decrease the lines. Schedule an appointment with an experienced injector to obtain a accurate assessment. Discuss your expectations. Thank you for your questions.

Although 18 is young, fillers can be used for improving the marionette line area. Juvederm directly can support, but Voluma in the medial cheek may camouflage the area too.Remember filers are by the syringe rather than the correction or area, and may take more than one syringe.Avoid aspirin, or ibuprofen for 2 weeks before to minimalize bruising and there may be some swelling.The fillers last about one year. Juvederm is reversible so if you did not like the result it can be dissolved but you would have spent the money.

You are quite young for such a treatment, although some filler in the Marionette area and the upper cheek may be helpful to give you what you're looking for. Juvederm or Restylane are nice options, effective and safe, and completely reversible if you weren't pleased with the filler for some reason (quite rare).

Worth a try... I prefer Juvederm XC, you may need two syringes. Fee in $1,000 range. Best to obtain in person evaluations...
